It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah said:
“We said: ‘O Messenger of Allah,
will we be taken to task for what we did in the Ignorance period?’
The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever does good in Islam
(i.e.,
after becoming a Muslim) he will not be taken to task for what
he did
in the Ignorance period, but whoever does evil (i.e., after
entering
Islam) he will be taken to task for both the former and the
latter.’”
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، وَأَبِي، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنُؤَاخَذُ بِمَا كُنَّا نَفْعَلُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ : . " مَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ لَمْ يُؤَاخَذْ بِمَا كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ أُخِذَ بِالأَوَّلِ وَالآخِرِ "
